Whiteholes

Post by whiteholes »

In astrophysics, a white hole is a postulated celestial body that spews out matter, in other words an anti-black hole, or the time reversal of a black hole.

It can be a means of transport between points of spacetime and even different universes. A matter that enters through a black hole might come out of a whitehole. For example an astronaut that got suck into a black hole will come out of a whitehole. Although, sadly, he would be crushed up terribly, but the exact number of atoms that made up his body will come out of the whitehole. The existence of white holes is hypothetical, as they appear to violate the second law of thermodynamics but the laws of physics that apply in our bubble universe will not be the same in other bubble universe.

Other speculations include the hypothesis that quasars are actually white holes instead of supermassive black holes.

It is possible that a whitehole is created out of an anti-matter star when it explodes. As it is the opposite of a black hole. An "anti-black hole". whiteholes have a high chance of existence in our universe as you can say our universe is created out of a massive white hole. The Big Bang which spews out matter.

cool stuff, i've heard about it before!

isn't a black hole just a super dense object? it only attracts matter through its gravity right? you don't actually fall into a 'hole'?

yes it is.. the theory goes that all the matter "sucked" into this 'hole' has to be spewn out at another "place/time", the other end rightfully termed the 'white hole'.. just as before the confirmation of black holes, it was very controversial. Experts and theorists debated over the possibility of "black holes"

There has yet to be any concrete prove of existence of "white holes" and possible white holes were, according to some theorists, quasars. Since quasars 'throw' matter out, just the opposite of 'black holes' that suck matter in. Others suggested that whiteholes were exits to parallel universes and the entrance being the black hole. Very sci-fi if you asked me. but I'm open to all theories :D

I believe that the space is so large and we've only covered theories and seen prove based on what we observe that can be possible from Earth. I believe that the universe being such a large place would hold some mystery that is contrary to what we've been studying for ages here. It might just break all laws of maths and physics :twisted:

All mathematics, physics theorem have a factor of Time / Speed of Light in it's formulation,
and "black holes" are just "black" in view in universe because we cannot see it as it "sucks" or gravitate object to it at such a fast speed even "light" cannot escape it.
Once the criteria of Light Speed is remove from the theory, the formula is in fact non existance.
Once the Light Speed exceeds exceeds our Earthly measurement, the Earthly Time is an anomaly.

White hole is just a hypothesis as one cannot determine a white source of light in universe ie as spewing out matter, or star matter giving out light.

Anything we see in the galaxies are just a "photo" of some event taking place thousands of lightyears away. Recent history of relevant astronomy cannot unravel facts/truths which takes lightyears to travel to even our best scopes.
